I side with Christine. And frankly I was surprised by the drama everyone from the average Joe to the television weather people displayed. Maybe the drought has made everybody forget what a good-ole thunderstorm is like. Most of us have seen worse - much worse.

But damage in the city was major enough for people it touched like Sleepy Hollow homeowners who saw their ceilings open up in the rain as skylights shattered or Amarillo College’s family that lost a grand 70-year-old Siberian elm to the wind or the kids in Bushland whose cool playhouse was toppled and rolled.
